Chapter 84 (4)
On the morning of 13 February, more than 1,300 people from the first battalion of the caravan, the Tusi battalion, and the left guard of the palace set out from the north gate of Renshou County and headed for Niujiaozhai. The other 300 Tusi soldiers under the leadership of Xu Hanqing went out of the West Gate in advance and went to Chen Village, the bandit's transit station near Black Dragon Pond, and the guide who led the way was the little bandit Huang Sanwa rescued by Liu Mingsheng from the bandits' den. Although LΓΌ San repeatedly expressed his determination to participate in the war through Li Chongwen, he was not approved by Zhu Pingjian, and still led the city guard to stay in Renshou County to maintain security. Cao Sanbao was also left in Renshou County. He got a cold all the way, and for fear of infecting the world, he took the initiative to ask for recuperation on the spot, and Zhu Pingjin had no choice but to agree.
All of the 400 recruits in Jianzhou were incorporated into the 1st Battalion of the Caravan, bringing the 1st Battalion to a full capacity of 800 men. The recruits did not have more time to train, so they had to train in battle.
More than 300 veterans of the caravan who had returned home to visit their relatives happily returned to the unit and chatted to their new and old comrades-in-arms about their happy new life. They brought the silver rewarded by Yazhou to their families, and saw that their families had been allocated the land they coveted, and even they had a share of themselves, and they also promised to send two buckets of food every month, which was called a subsidy for military families!
The veteran's appearance opened the door of hope for the recruits. On the way to Renshou, the recruits are hungry and cold along the way, and they are full of confusion about the future. But a few days later, they suddenly saw the future. And that wonderful prospect, so close to them, so close to the point of the spear to the chest of the enemy!
In order to accommodate the new recruits, the caravan was more substantial.
The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd companies and the newly formed 6th Company were all equipped with four platoons according to the establishment schedule, and each company reached a full strength of 180 men. Platoon leaders, squad leaders, and team leaders were all promoted by squad leaders, team leaders, and veterans who were recognized by both officers and soldiers for their outstanding performance in the Battle of Yazhou.
Because of the limitation of the number of troops, although many grassroots officers and soldiers were elected after the Battle of Yazhou, only those with the highest rankings were appointed. As soon as the recruits arrived, the smooth promotion mechanism and the perfect organizational structure quickly played a role, the recruits only needed to fill in the gaps in the structure, and the troops were immediately built, and the rest was only to get acquainted with each other and run in.
The only thing that made Zhu Pingjin hesitate a little was the two candidates for the chief officer of the Sixth Company. The three elders of the He family are all excellent military talents, and they all have extremely rich combat experience, which can be clearly seen from the contingency measures in the grain transportation operation. However, Zhu Pingjin did not want the He family to have too much power in the army, so he did not make a decision for a long time. It wasn't until the night before that He Youyi took the initiative to transfer the three brothers of Jiading to Zhu Pingjin's door, and introduced two young He Jiaerlang to meet him, that Zhu Pingjin finally issued an adjustment order to protect the officers above the company level of the caravan.
Cao Santai was in charge of the construction of the Tianquan Field, so he had to be relieved of his military position. Liu Hongting made a meritorious contribution and replaced Cao Santai, and together with Song Zhenzong, Shu Guoping, Song Zhensi, He Youyi, and Luo Jingyun, became the military and political commissar of the first battalion. The commander of the first battalion, Song Zhenzong, is still the commander of the first company; Battalion supervisor Shu Guoping is still the commander of the second company; Deputy battalion commander Song Zhensi is still the commander of the fourth company; He Youyi, deputy battalion supervisor, is still the commander of the third company. While serving in the 1st Battalion, Song Zhensi also served as the training director of the caravan guard and the captain of the Yazhou caravan; He Youyi concurrently served as the chief of staff of the caravan and the supervisor of the Tusi battalion; Li Chongwen also served as the captain and supervisor of the Meizhou Caravan. At the same time, Zhu Pingjin publicly announced that the above four people enjoyed the regular camp-level treatment together with Gao Antai of the Tusi Battalion.
Liu Hongting served as the deputy chief of staff of the caravan and the supervisor of the sixth company; Luo Jingyun served as the deputy supervisor of the Yazhou Caravan and the acting supervisor; Cheng Xiangfeng served as the senior senator and secretary general of the caravan, and was actually Zhu Pingjin's personal secretary; He Zengshan, the leader of the He family, served as the deputy commander of the Renshou caravan. The above four people, along with Xu Hanqing and Gao Rongxuan of Tusi Battalion, enjoy the treatment of deputy battalion level.
In addition to the company-level commander of the first battalion, He Qiukou served as the commander of the sixth company; Chen Youfu is still the commander of the fifth company, and Wang Sizhong is the supervisor of the fifth company; The spy company is still recruiting troops in Feixian Pass, and Wang Daniu's position remains unchanged; In addition, Liu Mingsheng served as the deputy chief and acting chief of the reconnaissance section of the caravan, and Lu San concurrently served as the baggage officer.
Tusi Camp is the Gao family's private soldiers, and before Gao Antai made a clear statement, Zhu Pingjin was not good at intervening directly, so his position was not adjusted. Gao Antai and He Youyi served as battalion commanders and camp supervisors respectively, and Xu Hanqing and Gao Rongxuan led the infantry cavalry.
Sun Hong still did not receive a military position, and he replaced He Youyi's temporary dispatch and became the head of propaganda and public opinion in the Shizifu. His first task was to cooperate with Zhu Pingjin's plan to fight the chaos and make the land reform policy deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Of course, his fundamental mission is to make the officialdom, scholars, common people, and people in Sichuan believe one thing from the bottom of their hearts:
Zhu Pingjian, the son of Shu, is the destiny of heaven!
In any organization, personnel changes always attract the most attention. Most of the personnel appointments this time were not expected, but there was one item that caused a lot of discussion, that is, Liu Hongting's appointment to the military.
For example, a certain person with a loud voice personally ran to Zhu Pingjin and said strange things. He said that when women enter the camp, they will bring a plague of blood and light, and so on. Zhu Pingjin knew that the old men of the northerners were more serious, so he didn't give this person a good look.
He retorted coldly: "It's all under the crotch, Cao Santai deserves it, why can't Liu Hongting deserve it?" Speaking of background, Miss Liu is still a famous official eunuch, after being loyal and good! So Qin Liangyu is not a woman? You can be a general soldier as well! The emperor also personally wrote poems to praise her. When it comes to great military achievements, I'm afraid you're not as good as a big man, right? This loud voice was choked on the spot, and the strange words below gradually stopped.
The caravan escorted from Renshou County to Niujiaozhai, but the big and small thief chieftains of Niujiaozhai knew nothing.
In a secluded small house in the west of the main village of Niutou Village, Zhang Guangpei, the sixth master, was still lying on the bed and sleeping soundly. After the big boss Black Whirlwind Zhang Guangzu led a large group of people to Pengshan County to loot, there were only fifty or sixty people left in the main village. Except for those who guard the gates of the village and the temples under the wall, almost all the people left in the main village on the top of the mountain are the ladies of the village. So Zhang Guangpei slept with confidence, and he woke up slowly until noon.
A jade arm reached over to the pillow and slapped on his sweaty bare head.
"Baby, what is this for?" Zhang Guangpei grinned and grabbed the jade arm, put it to his mouth and kissed it.
"What a baby, I don't know the words I learned from that sassy woman!" The jade arm retracted. The woman turned around and exposed her jade back to Zhang Guangpei. Zhang Guangpei took advantage of the situation and hugged the woman, pressed the woman on the bed with a thick leg, and reached into the small clothes with a big hand, kneading her breasts wantonly.
"Nasty!" The woman couldn't break free from Zhang Guangpei's entanglement, so she had to close her eyes and mutter: "Wait for your eldest brother to come back, see how he cleans you up." According to your brother's violent temper, I have to light you on the sky lantern! β
"What's wrong? You were the first thing I fell in love with! I said I wanted to marry you, do you remember? Big brother, that's a knife to take love, we have that hatred to take his wife! Zhang Guangpei shouted loudly, arching his mouth out and smelling the fragrance of the woman's hair.
"I'm going to die, shout louder!" The woman turned over, propped herself up with her arms, and put her chest naked in front of Zhang Guangpei, "Who told you that you have no ability and can only do some trivial chores?" I can't go into battle, I can't kill anyone, I can only mix with us girls every day! β
Zhang Guangpei stretched out his mouth again, but he was slapped in the face by a woman, "Dead man, cocks are hard all day long, just thinking about the day X." Let me ask you, if your brother comes back and asks, what will you say? β
"What do you say?"
"Do you admit it?"
"I'm not a melon baby, how can I admit this? What we do, God knows, the earth knows, you know, I know. We don't say, who knows? Maybe you give birth to our baby, and the eldest brother will help us raise it! β
The woman listened to Zhang Guangpei's words, and her heart was a little relieved. She lay down, covered her breasts with a quilt, and kept her eyes open to see the light shining through the roof tiles (Note 1).
"What do you want?" Zhang Guangpei asked her.
"I don't know, I'm scared." The woman stared at the bright light and was stunned, and after a long while, she said, "I was thinking about the original old seven, and the one who died was miserable." Phew, these are you brothers, it's all hypocrisy! β
"Hey, that brother is fake, big brother is worshipping." Zhang Guangpei said, "I'm different from my eldest brother. Born by a father and mother, it is a brother. β
"I see you're having a dream, and I can't see your big brother's face clearly!" The woman turned over again and poked Zhang Guangpei's head.
"I've been with your eldest brother for years, and I don't know his virtues? When he wants to use you, his mouth is as sweet as honey; When I don't need you, I want to cut you in half with a knife. Look at the second child, his body and bones are so sick, and he won't have a few years to live. He counted on the second child to give him advice, so he praised the second child like Zhuge Liang. He said, this is called Corporal Lixian! Look at the seventh child, although he was born by his mother, he has the same surname as your brother. He doesn't look down on others, so he slaps the left and kicks the right. He said, "It's called Enwei and Grace!" I see, your eldest brother doesn't have you two brothers in his heart, he wants someone who can help him build his territory, such as the second and third children. Hmph, he thinks he's smart! I don't know that there is an old saying: The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the hen is behind! β
Flutter! Zhang Guangpei laughed, "What hen, what rooster." It's the sparrows behind! β
"I'm down to business, you still have the heart to laugh!" Zhang Guangpei hit his head again.
"I know that my boss looks down on me and has bullied me since I was a child. Still, we're brothers, and he's not going to fry me up. β
"Our affairs are going to be discovered by your brother, you are brothers, you don't have any, I have no way to live!" Annoyed, the woman lifted the quilt and exposed the two sleek bodies on the bed to the air.
"What's wrong with you?" Zhang Guangpei sneezed, hurriedly pressed the woman, and dragged the quilt to cover it.
"Don't cry." Zhang Guangpei comforted the sobbing woman and sneered, "Damn X! He is unkind, I am unjust! Don't think he left an eyeliner, I don't know, one of our parents was born, can Lao Tzu be stupider than him? Tell you, I didn't see you a few days ago, because I took the effort to smuggle the gold and silver treasures in the village to the bottom of the mountain and hide them...... If the boss finds out about the two of us, we'll run the fuck with the gold and silver! β
Only then did the woman burst into tears and laughed, hugged Zhang Guangpei and kneaded and pinched. Zhang Guangpei felt that his dick was hard, and immediately turned over and went in. For a while, the beds in the hut were rattling and obscene noises were incessant. When the pleasure was reaching its climax, there was a sudden bang, and the door of the hut was kicked open, and the bright light outside shot so that the two of them could not open their eyes.
"To catch a traitor, you have to catch a double, and to catch a traitor ...... bed," a shadow at the door walked in with a mantra for catching a traitor, "Look at what you say this time!" Hey, and the treasure! Come on, tie up the adulterer and adulteress to Lao Tzu, and pull them out to parade in the streets first! β
Note 1: Tiles that can be translucent. It is said that before glass was widely adopted, it was ground out of large mussel shells, so it was expensive.
